Our mission is simple: Promote and defend the tire retread and tire repair industries worldwide.

How We Achieve It

- Provide the motoring public (both in the private and public sectors) with the most up-to-date information about the economic and environmental benefits of tire retreading and tire repairing.

- We do this through our content-rich website, newsletters, press releases, CD/DVD's, and by speaking at and attending relevant trade shows and conferences.

- Quickly and factually respond to inaccurate and negative articles about the tire retread and tire repair industries. 

Why We Do It

To support an industry that delivers immense environmental benefits through the safe retreading of tires. This ultimately reduces carbon dioxide emissions, saves large amounts of raw materials (including petroleum), and reduces landfill. In addition, the industry helps commercial and public fleets, including federal, state and local governments save money through the cost-effective use of retreaded tires.
